Potato is cheap.
The margin on fries is only exceeded by the margin on popcorn.

While true that’s also why you pay twice as much for a small fry vs the McDonald’s large.

I think they stopped this in Canada because I never get huge ass amounts anymore.

McDonald’s: “Small fries that will be $5.”
Five Guys: “Small fries that will be $15.”

I was grabbing food to go from a Five Guys years ago and it must have been at a shift change or something because they had a little meeting. After they called a few numbers after mine and Iād been waiting for a good 10-15 minutes I went up to check and the dude looks at my ticket number and realized they missed mine. He said āhold on, I got you coveredā and he put together my burger then proceeded to completely fill by bag to the top with fries.

Last time I went to five guys I didnāt get the extra fries. Considering they cost $5 I was a bit disgruntled.

This has always been the case when I ordered five guys lol. Itād be like $5 fries for a regular size but the entire bag was smothered in fries

Used to be true. Now they charge 3x the price and you get an exact measurement on the fries. Sad state of affairs

Five guys makes a big stink about using fresh potatoes and even tells you the farm they’re supposedly from then they skip most of the steps to making good fries to serve soggy salty trash instead

Five Guys fries looks like they were cooked in nasty dirty oil.

Yes, but those 5 guy fries aren’t good

Doen’st Five Guys make their cartons smaller so that extra scoop is seen as ‘extra’ while it really isn’t? I even remember them giving less weight than advertised.

Five Guys use real fresh potatoes compared to the chemically frozen slop garbage Mcds sells.

I ordered a large fry once. Got less fries than a medium…

Fun fact: the reason why the dump so many fries into the bag is th trick the customer into thinking they’re getting more value for the price. They could fill the bag halfway with fries and it would still be more cost efficient to get the same size fry somewhere else.

For as much as five guys asks the least they could do is load you up with the fries.

Iāve had 5 guys once. The fries were horrible. I couldnāt eat them because they were so greasy and salty. And I donāt even like McDonaldās fries.

Never order a large fry from 5 guys. It will change the orbit of the moon

They do this on purpose so customers think theyāre getting a good deal when in actuality they factor the cost of all those fries into the price.
